It is formulated with Fipronil 5% SC, a powerful chemical that controls chewing and sucking pests that have become resistant to older medicines. unlike regular pesticides, Salvo-SC doesn't just kill insects; it also provides a "Phytotonic Effect" (Greening Effect), making your plants look healthier, greener, and more vigorous.
Best for: Farmers struggling with Stem Borers in Rice, Thrips in Chilli, or Termites in Sugarcane.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Resistant Pests: Effectively controls pests that no longer die from ordinary sprays (like Organophosphates or Pyrethroids).
- ?️Dual Action Power: Works through Contact (touch) and Ingestion (stomach) to ensure pests die whether they eat the leaf or just walk on it.
- ⏳Systemic Protection: The medicine enters the plant system and moves upwards, killing hidden borers inside the stem that surface sprays cannot reach.
- ?️Rainfast Formula: Sticks firmly to the plant surface. It resists washing off even if it rains a few hours after spraying, saving your money.
- ?Yield Booster (Phytotonic): Stimulates root growth and makes leaves greener, leading to more tillers in rice and better quality produce.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Salvo-SC works by targeting the Central Nervous System of the insect. It is unique because it attacks a specific area called the GABA receptor.
- Entry: The chemical enters the pest either through contact (skin) or when they eat the treated leaf.
- Blockage: It blocks the "brakes" (chloride channels) in the insect's nerves.
- Result: The insect's nerves get over-excited and short-circuit. This causes immediate paralysis, and the pest dies shortly after.
This mechanism is different from older sprays, which is why it kills pests that have survived other treatments.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 400 - 600 ml | 200 Litres | 2.0 - 3.0 ml | 32 Days |

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during early morning or late evening. Avoid spraying when bees are active (full bloom).
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur, as this destroys the chemical.
- Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone" nozzle for foliar sprays to create a fine mist that penetrates the crop canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
